Replaced all of the bulbs with ice white LED's and added logo puddle lights, won't be to everybody's taste but I like them.

Replaced my passenger interior door pull handle with a new one. The old one's "paint" had peeled off and looked like crap. Same thing happened to the driver's side, but after searching everywhere I could not find anyone that had a new one. So, I pulled the driver's handle, stripped the paint and painted it with SEM Color Coat. I couldn't find an exact match, but got kind of close. The handle underlying plastic is black so the peeled paint looked really bad. A small mismatch in the color is better than how it looked.

I totally agree! I’ve got a crack in my trim that I’ve been thinking of pulling off and trying to fix... my issue / delay is that I don’t want to paint or wrap it, I actually like the wood. I purchased matching wood to replace it off Facebook from a guy who had a decent rating and assured me it was in good shape... only to have cracked crap arrive - back to the drawing board.

Fitted new battery clamps, cleaned interior air filter housing.
While checking door drains I found out that the rear carpet was soaking wet. I had a leaking sunroof drain a few weeks earlier which I fixed. I confirmed that all 4 drains are working. I think the rear vapor barrier seals failed this time... I just got my new speakers in so will be doing these jobs at the same time. I will probably have to take the carpet out to dry it... It could also be the AC drain |

Today I pulled the non-working hazard/central locking switch and used a hot glue gun to re-attach the bottom of the switch. Previous owner had been in there before, but had just taped it.
a week ago my son severely dented the front passenger door on a low, snow-covered stone wall. So, yesterday I went on a targeted search looking for a passenger front door in titan silver without damage or rust. I live in MA. I searched car-part and row52 looking for silver X5's. I saw 8 X5's in junkyards. In 5 stops at junkyards and dismantlers in MA and RI, I saw 5 silver front passenger doors. The one I bought is nearly flawless and I got it loaded with mirror, glass, electrics, and all trim for $130 out the door. Freedman's Inc. in Middleborough, MA had the best selection of BMWs with 6+ X5's and more than a dozen other models |

Yesterday a friend picked up a beautiful Black 4.8iS however the previous owner replaced the stock 168s with 87s. My friend prefers the 168s. If anyone in the NJ/PA areas has some nice 168s they'd want to swap for 87s. Please PM me.

I updated my Style 87 wheels by mounting winter tires on them (Yokohama BluEarths)...then installing them on my f15 X5.
(It did require mounting hub-centric wheel spacers (15mm) to reduce the 74.1mm hub to 72.56mm & 40mm extended lug bolts...but it worked and they fit)
